Do you have to do it in C?

Because it's like a 5 minute job and a handful of lines of code in say Perl.

i only know C but if you can direct me to a site or something that explains what Perl is or how to create a programme like this in it it would help me a lot :)
thank you

Out the door, two doors down, on the left
You'll find DW's very own perl forum.

But to whet your appetite, read from a file, or stdin, and create directories

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
while ( <> ) {
  chomp;
  mkdir $_;
}
